Rose Dust - Pantone Fashion Color Report for Spring 2009

INSPIRATION
The art of Emily Carr and the animated landscape of trees and totems that populate her work — the vibrantly painted cedar poles stand in perfect harmony against the soothing canvas of nature’s flora, the sky and the land itself.

COLOR PHILOSOPHY
Given the right balance, contradictions of warm and cool tones, drawn from both nature and man-made artifice, create a harmonious aesthetic.
